Description VincentL CLA 2010-09-28 06:32:30 EDT 
It is possible to have a connection that link more than one source and one target.

I would like to have connection that link together for example 4 EClass.

I would like to use a line bend point (or any point on a connection) as an anchor point for the connection of the next connection. It will help to add sub-segments to existing connection.

This functionnality is available in GMF but I didn't find it with Graphiti? 

In my specific case, I want to create an electrical circuit editor and multiple connection are required because it simplify the basic creation of the schematic. Take a look at the following circuit and you will understand.

Enhancement available now!
You can create "connection points" (CP) on connections now (see attachement). Technically a CP is a (active) shape which can be selected, moved etc. To have this functionality in your tool you have to implement/change the CreateConnectionFeature and ReconnectionFeature.
You can see some example coding in the SKETCH testtool: org.eclipse.graphiti.testtool.sketch.features.SketchReconnectionFeature and org.eclipse.graphiti.testtool.sketch.features.create.AbstractSketchCreateSimpleConnectionFeature
